April 30th PlayStation Plus Update

SPRING FEVER – Zombie Tycoon II: Brainhov’s Revenge

Pick your side in the epic war between two evil masterminds: apprentice-gone-rogue Orville Tycoon and his army of heavy-duty zombies, or his vengeance-thirsty mentor Professor Brainhov and his frantic masses of agile undead! Post Z-day, Tycoon’s mad machination to extinguish all life in Finkleville has almost reached its apogee. During the final siege on the human fortress, his former mentor makes a sudden comeback, seeking retribution for his apprentice’s betrayal and eager to reclaim his rightful place as alpha mad scientist. Only one question remains: who shall win? Slow zombies, or fast zombies? Find out as undead armies clash in both the immersive single player campaign and the competitive multiplayer mode!

Last Chance (Leaving on 5/7)

You’ll find all the content detailed above with their Plus benefits active when the PlayStation Store updates tomorrow. You can also look forward to next week where we’ll announce May’s PlayStation Plus lineup.

Got something on your mind about PS Plus, or anything PlayStation related? Comment below, and head over to the PlayStation Community Forums to find and create other topics to contribute your thoughts to, or start one yourself. Thanks, as always — looking forward to chatting you guys up in the comments and on the PlayStation Forums.

I like that we are at least getting new releases for the Vita, but I would like to get some full retail games for the Vita. Even if they are a year old. I just don’t get as much playtime out of these psn games. And no more psp games please. I want games that were made for the Vita.

Starting to feel ripped off. Seriously. EU gets more for their money while we continue to get crappy PSN games. EU gets Hitman this month! What do we get? Discounts? PSN games?????

I’ve never been one to complain about PS+, and in the beginning I thought it was a good idea, but now it’s really starting to feel like I’m wasting my money. Been subbed over a year now, but the way this is going I might not bother renewing.

Are you kidding?? Again, we get crapped on? I’m so tired of getting Phone/Facebook games while EU gets Video Games! Hitman Absolution to EU this month…this is so ridiculous.

Is there a way, being in the US that I can sign up for PS+ EU? Can I create a new account and say it’s in the UK and buy a UK PSN Card or something? There is no way in hell I’m renewing this subscription for the US. If I wanted to play phone games I wouldn’t have spent $600 on a PS3, I would’ve purchased an OUYA!

No sale on the game’s DLC? I was hoping MGR:R DLC would get hit up… but oh well… at LEAST the games are being lowered for people to get. Just wish that it was DLC as well or more PSASBR DLC Characters or maps…

The freebie tomorrow looks like it might be alright. I hope it turns out well as it will be the first game I download this month. The sales are awesome, really good sales on some really good games. I might have to pick up The Devil May Cry collection as I own most everything else up there that isn’t a PSP title. Really was hoping to see Metal Gear Rising: Revengeace as a part of the sale but it is fairly new so I’m not really surprised. Still the length of that game is said to be really short so I haven’t been willing to jump on it at full price. Oh well, great sale regardless. Here’s hoping to some fresher, more exciting content next month for NA Plus members. You can just copy and paste what the EU Plus members are getting if you want. I know I’d be happy and I would bet that there are many others who be comfortable with a better selection of games as well.

I think there’s a ton of replay value in MGS Rising. To me, the length was just fine. The fighting system is one where it really encourages you to play through it multiple times and find new challenges with what I think is a really good fighting engine.

@178 the entire Uncharted series is available for download on the PS store, there just effing HUGE Unchated 1 and 2 are about 17-18GB and Uncharted 3 is about 43GB, throw in the weird way the Playstaion downloads games (you essentially need double the space it says to download it and install it) makes UC1-2 about 40GB by themselves and UC3 at 83GB last I checked.

I don’t think we’re making a giant push to get more soundtracks on Plus. I know we’ve included them in discount specials before (Rainbow Moon comes to mind), but again, I don’t think we’re going out of our way to get more of them

The sales look fantastic! Lots of big titles and cheap prices too. If you haven’t picked up PSASBR I highly recommend it. Already got my Vita version platinum and am looking to get the PS3 version platinum as well. This is coming from someone who doesn’t really enjoy fighting games either. They’re just not my cup of tea. However, PSASBR is a huge exception.

Quick question though. Will any of the PSASBR DLC be on sale as well? The new stages look particularly enticing but I haven’t picked them up yet.

I may depend on who you ask because nostalgia plays a big role in peoples’ minds when it comes to the first MGS. I personally feel that the Gamecube version, the Twin Snakes, is the best version of MGS1 because all of the gameplay has been upgraded to use the same engine as Metal Gear Solid 2. Going back to the original MGS1 after playing Twin Snakes or MGS2 is difficult for me. If you’re worried about the gunplay, keep in mind that the original version of MGS1 doesn’t have 1st Person Shooting either, making targeting some enemies a pain if you’re spotted or in a boss battle.

It’s still a good game, especially for $5, but your mileage might vary. That said, the story still holds up today, so if it’s the only chance you have to see MGS’s story unfold, I recommend it. You may also want to look up the Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel, which is essentially the whole story in comic form.

Morgan, I also would like some official confimation that the R&CFFA sale willentitle me (god, i can’t believe I said that) to the Vita version. And maybe a confimation that the Vita version hasn’t been cancelled. It’s a game I want on my Vita, but I’ll learn how to play on PS3 as long as I know my Vita version is coming. Thanks.

Also, $20 was the price I was waiting for to buy AllStars (with the small roster that’s what I feel it’s worth), if I’m able to get another PSN card this week, I’ll be buying that as well as FFA. And I WISH I could afford more. I’m just so broke. Which makes PLUS SOOOO important to me as a gamer. I pray to the Gaming Gods daily Sony is able to keep Plus around through PS4’s life.
